The winners of the 31st annual Themed Entertainment Association’s Thea awards have been announced in a ceremony at SeaWorld Orlando, Florida, US.
During the presentation, the TEA announced the expansion of their yearly honours, with the addition of the TEA Recognition of Merit.
This new recognition has been created to spotlight projects that may not have received a Thea Award of Outstanding Achievement, yet demonstrate extraordinary creative artistry, innovation, and execution in our ever-expanding industry.
The TEA Recognition of Merit honours the projects and the people behind them: content creators including designers, architects, engineers, technicians, and business leaders.
"For more than 30 years, the TEA has celebrated the creators, developers, designers and producers who make the themed entertainment industry special,” said Matt Barton, TEA international board president, TEA.
“The Thea Awards are the epitome of excellence and our industry’s highest honour. The combined work of this year’s Thea Award winners brings joy to millions of guests worldwide while inspiring our industry to continue to push the envelope of creativity and innovation.”
The list of award winners can be seen at TEAConnect.org.
